| | '''Mobility'''
| |
| | Allows the player to use [[sprint]] indefinitely.
| |
| | Allows Spartans to modify and bypass muscle control actuators, which allow Spartans high-intensity mobility without severely damaging their bodies. This allows users to gain unprecedented sprinting stamina at their own discretion.{{Ref/Site|URL=http://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/intel/inteldetail/d5bbcfdb-d73c-4002-bf35-b811dd4e02aa/mobility-package|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Halo 4 Interactive Guide - Tactical Packages: Mobility Package|D=01|M=05|Y=2013|LocalArchive=Halo 4 Interactive Guide#Tactical Packages}}

| |
| | '''Shielding'''
| |
| | Boosts the player's shield recharge rate. This package overrides player traits, setting their shield recharge rate to 200%, and their shield recharge wait to 6 seconds.
| |
| | Reinforces [[energy shielding|energy shield]] emitters by means of a modifying bypass of standard performance regulators, allowing a higher shield-recharge rate after taking damage.{{Ref/Site|URL=http://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/intel/inteldetail/db61432a-67bf-49c9-ad6b-62c124cfcd54/shielding-package|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Halo 4 Interactive Guide - Tactical Packages: Shielding Package|D=30|M=04|Y=2013|LocalArchive=Halo 4 Interactive Guide#Tactical Packages}}

| |
| | '''Resupply'''
| |
| | Allows the recovery of grenades from fallen allies and enemies.
| |
| | Allows Spartans to recover grenades from the armor of dead soldiers by means of a software patch to the suit's magnetic hardpoint configuration. Equipment recovery personnel and post-combat recon teams deployed in enemy-held locations, where acquiring matériel from allies and foes alike is a necessity, tend to use this package.{{Ref/Site|URL=http://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/intel/inteldetail/9a62c932-52a0-4801-88d5-e4830e66c866/resupply-package|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Halo 4 Interactive Guide - Tactical Packages: Resupply Package|D=24|M=04|Y=2013|LocalArchive=Halo 4 Interactive Guide#Tactical Packages}}

| |
| | '''AA Efficiency'''
| |
| | Increases the recharge rate of [[armor abilities]] by 100%.
| |
| | Disables shortwave system regulators, generating more power to recharge armor abilities faster. This package is favored by Spartans who are involved in asymmetric engagement roles as an ad hoc combat modifier, which provided a short term advantage.{{Ref/Site|URL=http://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/intel/inteldetail/c244b900-8133-4e38-ad47-9bfdf53c8ebc/aa-efficiency-package|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Halo 4 Interactive Guide - Tactical Packages: AA Efficency Package|D=24|M=04|Y=2013|LocalArchive=Halo 4 Interactive Guide#Tactical Packages}}

| |
| | '''Grenadier'''
| |
| | Increases the player's grenade-carrying capacity by +1.
| |
| | Restructures the standard magnetic hardpoints on the user's suit system, effectively increasing the total grenade capacity for all personnel. The package affects both domestic and exotic grenades, including Covenant and Forerunner ones, per compatibility regulations.{{Ref/Site|URL=http://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/intel/inteldetail/b2f9bc3c-aff9-49d2-9958-bf29489efe7e/grenadier-package|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Halo 4 Interactive Guide - Tactical Packages: Grenadier Package|D=24|M=04|Y=2013|LocalArchive=Halo 4 Interactive Guide#Tactical Packages}}

| |
| | '''Firepower'''
| |
| | Allows the player to carry two primary weapons simultaneously.
| |
| | Alternates redundant magnetic streams on the back of the GEN2 armor, overriding regulated load out limitations and allowing a Spartan to carry two primary weapons simultaneously. This package is considered imperative for Spartans who prefer longer-ranged or heavier firepower over close-range speed and versatility.{{Ref/Site|URL=http://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/intel/inteldetail/3cfdb799-83f8-40c3-a8eb-f7c907cbfb32/firepower-package|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Halo 4 Interactive Guide - Tactical Packages: Firepower Package|D=30|M=04|Y=2013|LocalArchive=Halo 4 Interactive Guide#Tactical Packages}}

| |
| | '''Fast Track'''
| |
| | Allows the player to advance in rank 20% more quickly.
| |
| | Maintained by installing a modular evaluation device, Fast Track allows users to gather and analyze more experiential data from every combat encounter they have. This package impacts the user's ability to advance in rank, shortening the time in between promotions. Effectively, it allows an increased experience gain.{{Ref/Site|URL=http://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/intel/inteldetail/a97494f3-9cf0-488d-92b2-7d8d661a4902/fast-track-package|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Halo 4 Interactive Guide - Tactical Packages: Fast Track Package|D=24|M=04|Y=2013|LocalArchive=Halo 4 Interactive Guide#Tactical Packages}}

| |
| | '''Requisition'''
| |
| | Lets players request new choices when an ordnance drop has been granted. It works in modes where personal ordnance is allowed.
| |
| | Installs a hardline channel system. This allows a Spartan to request alternate selections of tools or weapons during ordnance drops. This package is very useful when it comes to ordnance versatility by offering more choices on the battlefield.{{Ref/Site|URL=http://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/intel/inteldetail/2f08bfca-5907-4594-a29a-276487cf5e7b/requisition-package|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Halo 4 Interactive Guide - Tactical Packages: Requisition Package|D=24|M=04|Y=2013|LocalArchive=Halo 4 Interactive Guide#Tactical Packages}}

| | '''Wheelman'''
| |
| | Vehicles the player is driving have 50% less health stun time, recharge health 50% faster, and the effects of [[Electromagnetic pulse|EMPs]] are mitigated 50% faster.
| |
| | Connects the user to machine controller systems via a [[UNSC battle network|cross-networked]] driver component fixed to the suit's frame. This improves the long durability of any vehicle in combat and mitigates some of the effective effects of EMP discharges.{{Ref/Site|URL=http://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/intel/inteldetail/d8e2e142-b0c1-4f07-8db7-51c756daba12/wheelman-package-|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Halo 4 Interactive Guide - Tactical Packages: Wheelman Package|D=24|M=04|Y=2013|LocalArchive=Halo 4 Interactive Guide#Tactical Packages}}

| ==Production notes== | | ====Fast Track==== |
| The Resistor tactical package was released alongside the Survivor [[Support upgrades|support upgrade]] as a [[Halo 4 Title Updates#Title Update 8/19/2013|free update]] for all ''Halo 4'' players on [[2013#August|August 19, 2013]] - one day prior to the release of the [[Champions Bundle]].{{Ref/Reuse|Resistor}} Due to it being implemented after the game's launch, neither armor mod (nor any of the other Champions Bundle content such as the [[Steel Skin Pack]] or [[Infinity Armor Pack]]) were available for use in [[Spartan Ops]] - if the player has them equipped in their loadout, the game simply reverts back to "None". | | The Fast Track package allows players to advance in rank more quickly.<ref name="H4 Exile PAX"/> |
|
| |
|
| For similar reasons, none of the Champions Bundle content was included in ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]'' at launch in [[2014]]. However, the Resistor tactical package (alongside Survivor support upgrade) was added into the ''Halo 4'' component of the collection in the ''Master Chief Collection'' December 2022 update, as part of ''Halo 4''{{'}}s tenth anniversary. Unlike the original game, it can be used in Spartan Ops.{{Ref/Site|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/halo-mcc-december-2022-update|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Halo: MCC - December 2022 Update|D=03|M=11|Y=2024}}
